Hanna has officially learned how to open a Hershey’s kiss. And she’s pretty proud of herself too. .Everyday after lunch we head to our Christmas calendar and see what we are doing that day.. inside are two kisses and a note of the day’s activity. Hanna knows this routine, and eagerly awaits for her sister to hand her a kiss of her own. (no this doesn’t mean she gets one every day, but every now and then I’ll give her a few bites..) ❤️🎄 .I’m loving these Christmas traditions we’ve got going on, and I love seeing their eyes light up. ...#itschristmas#christmasdecor#christmastime#sistersquad#momlifebelike#girlmom#letthembekids#lovechristmas

So... I didn’t make her pose like this, she did it on her own!! 😍.This weekend she had her first ever performance. And at first I thought she’d be nervous because she is so shy, but I was wrong!! While we were back stage she kept telling me “I’m just so excited!!!” .I can’t believe how big she is getting!! .Have you kids ever done dance or had a performance!? How did they do!?..#itschristmas#itschristmastime#familytime#december#ballet#momlifebelike#girlmomlife

My original plans were to post a picture of my beautiful Christmas tree. The tree I’ve been waiting to put up since I last took it down. But my morning has been everything but Christmas-y..Hanna was up all night -which probably added to my morning from Hades- so she’s been super fussy. And Hazel just couldn’t stop crying for anything. .Needless to say I had to put myself in timeout this morning, I had to take a deep breath and remember that it was only for a moment. These rough patches are supposed to help us grow, right?? .Anyway, whenever I have these moments I am reminded of this quote that I keep in the back of my brain. “Don't you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come.” Jeffrey R. Holland.I hope you all are having a Christmas-y Wednesday! .#inspirationalquotes#ldsquotes#themommydiary#itschristmas#motherhoodquotes#momlifebelike#ohheymamas#arizonablogger#ldsmom
